Kill Feed

A real-time feed of PvP kills displayed on your public server page, showing killer, victim, weapon, distance, and bodypart hit data.

How It Works

The DayZ mod captures every kill event in real time and sends it to the Rankly ingest API. Kill events include the killer's Steam ID, the victim's Steam ID, the weapon class, distance in metres, and the bodypart that was hit. The server page displays these events in a scrolling feed that updates automatically.

Filters

The kill feed supports filtering to help players and admins find what they care about.

allShow all kill events including PvE (zombie kills, animal kills, etc.)
pvp_onlyShow only player-vs-player kills. This is the default view.
min_distanceFilter to only show kills above a certain distance in metres. Useful for highlighting long-range shots.

Privacy

Players who have set their profile to hidden via their Steam-linked profile settings will be excluded from the public kill feed. Their kill data is still recorded and contributes to aggregate stats, but their name and Steam ID will not appear in the feed.

Configuration

Server admins can configure kill feed behaviour from the Admin Dashboard → Configuration → Kill Feed tab. Options include:

  • Enable or disable the kill feed on the public server page
  • Set the default filter mode (all or PvP only)
  • Configure the number of events shown
  • Toggle weapon display names vs. class names
